The upper picture reveals the scene outside tho doors of the 1st 'Regiment Armory, Broad and Cnllowhill
streets, today as members in citizen's clothes assembled for the purpose of donning their uniforms. In the
group also arc recruits waiting to apply for enlistment. The diagram below shows how Jit. Gretna will be the
i focal point of mobilization.
Mwii mmtm have bn tuwl ten
tative orders for several months and tho
splilt of wartime hna already pervnded the
armories. At the 2d Iteglmcnt Armory 14
transport wagons nro available, Ordinarily,
they would have been In the yard of tho
building, but they are now on the lloor, and
althouch no mules have been obtnlned to
draw them ns yet. they are ready for use.
Major John T. Hughes was at the hend
quarters of the Second Regiment, adjacent
to the Armory, this morning.
"We could leave tonight If necessary,"
he said. "As n matter of fact, I don't ex
pect that we will bo called so soon, but the
Second Regiment Is ready." Major Hughes
was ln communication with the head of
his regiment last night, and arranged nil
details necessary to possiblo mobilization.
The 2d Regiment has not been In nctlve
Bervlce since 1902, when the men were
called on strike duty, About 800 men are
enrolled In that regiment.
Colonel Thomas Diddle Ellis, at attorney,
with offices In the Commonwealth Building,
head of the Cth Infantry, wild ho had 830
men under his command. He Is doing noth
ing toward mobilization, he said, and will
take no Bteps until he has recohed definite
Instructions.
SOME VOLUNTEER.
Sergeant Walter Carver, of 226 Main
street, Camden, but accredited to the Third
Regiment, N. G. P., was the flrst man
to arrive at the armory, Droad and Whar
ton streets.
A parallel honor was accorded David
Flnkenblndcr, of 2120 South 60th street,
who was the flrst man to appear as a
willing recruit.
There were many men on hand who
wanted to enlist.
None of the men that appeared had re
ceived official notification, which will prob
ably be served today by tho police, but
they had read the morning newspapers and
knew they were wanted.
All were enthuslastlo to mobilize and
more than one man voiced the opinion that
this step should have been taken several
months ago, In fact, from the date of the
first Villa raid.
Second Lieutenant William Houser, of
Company F said that It was the firm opin
ion of th regiment's offlcers and men that
with a month's training they could put the
3d on par with any In the regular army-
The 3d now has about 800 men, and will
probably recruit up to 1200.
Colonel Charles C. Allen, commander of
the First Regiment, a captain. In the regular
United States Army. Is a veteran of the
Spanish-American War. He has under him
about 700 men, many of whom also saw
service in that conflict. At hla home In
Overbrook, . Just before leaving for the
armory at Broad and Callowhlll streets, he
said that his regiment would be prepared
and ready for action within two days, If
"'prom this city between 3200 and 3300
men will bo moblllzed. In the 1st Brigade
are the 1st, id and 3d regiments of Infan
try. They aro commanded by Colonel
Charles C. Allen, who holds the rank of
captain In the regular army: Colonel
Hamilton D. Turner and Colonel Charles T.
Creeswell. The men in these commands will
report at their armories today, to await
the, orders which their superiors will re
ceive from Oeneral Price for their further
movements. tl ,. ,

Troops A and G. They form the 1st squad

"It certainly looks like business," was
tho comment of Brigadier Oeneral William
G Prlco, Jr.. commander of tho 1st
Brigade. N. G. P.. when Informod thai
President Wilson had called upon the
guardsmen of all tho States for border
service.
Although tho dispatch had been received
from Washington by the newspapers, guard
offlcers hero were entirely In the dark re
garding the matter.
The families of men who may bo called to
war would bo cared for financially by the
Government. Half of the pay to which the
soldiers would bo entitled would bo given to
the men themselves, while tho remainder
would be sent to their homes. Payment of
the soldiers In that way Is required by a
Government regulation.
